1 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR NORTH EAST SCOTLAND COLLEGE The following tables show the key performance indicators relating to student outcome for North East Scotland College (formerly Aberdeen College and Banff and Buchan College) over the last 3-6 academic years. Data is presented in various groupings but is mostly provided separately for full time and part time courses and is also split by level as follows: HE qualifications are those at Higher National Certificate level or above (SCQF level 7 and over) FE qualifications are those at National Certificate level or below (SCQF levels 6 and under) The data presented shows the proportion of enrolled students who completed their courses successfully; those who remained in attendance but who did not achieve all the required outcomes and those who withdrew before completion. The formal definitions are provided below: Completed: Successful = proportion of students who were retained on their courses and successfully completed their qualifications Completed: Partial success = proportion of students who were retained on their courses but did not successfully completed their qualifications. This includes a number of students who return to complete the elements of their course and subsequently complete their qualifications. Further withdrawal = proportion of students who left their course between the 25 date and the end of the course. This figure includes a number of students who withdraw early in order to take up employment or to move onto higher education. Early withdrawal = proportion of students who left their course prior to 25 of the course duration.

2 Full-time Student Outcomes Outcomes for full-time students have improved again in the last year, continuing a positive trend. A higher proportion of enrolments have completed successfully and withdrawal rates have continued to fall for both FE and HE level students.

3 Part-time Student Outcomes The proportion of complete successes for part-time students has increased for part-time HE enrolments, although it has fallen for FE students. Withdrawal rates remain very low for both FE and HE. A smaller proportion of students have partial success in HE courses but the number has risen for FE. Reasons for this are being investigated.

10 Chart 7. Enrolments by age group This chart shows the number of enrolments on all courses of 160 hours or more by age group. It shows that the majority of students on these courses are under 20 years old, with only a relatively small number over 40 years. However, older learners tend to be less likely to withdraw and more successful. For example, the completed successful figure for the 41 years and over group is 76 compared with 67 for under 18s.

It shows that there are more male than female students at both FE and HE levels. Both male and female students are more likely to complete and to succeed on HE courses than FE. On FE courses males are marginally more likely to succeed than females (71 compared with 70) but females are more successful than males on HE programmes (76 and 73 respectively). Gender & Students Enrolments by level and gender on courses lasting 160 hours or more FE Females 3, FE Males 3, HE Females 1, HE Males 1,

14 Chart 11. Enrolments by key group This chart shows the number of enrolments and success rates for some selected key groups. Students who are on courses paid for by an employer are highly successful (90), and success rates for those who have already completed at least a year of a programme are higher than that for the overall college population (81). Over 1200 students with a disability were enrolled in , of these 82 completed their courses and 69 completed successfully. Students who come from deprived datazones have higher withdrawal rates and lower success rates. Key Group & Students Outcomes for student enrolments on recognised qualifications 10 Most deprived datazone areas Most deprived datazone areas 1, Fees paid by employer 1, Ethnic minority Disability 1, Year of study greater than first year 1,

Staff with a teaching qualification This chart shows that 97 of the permanent teaching staff employed by the College in held a recognised teaching qualification. Staff coming from industry rather than a teaching background are enrolled on a teaching qualification soon after starting work so there is a small proportion of staff who are working toward completion of a qualification at any given time Percentage of Full-time permanent staff with a teaching qualification
